glib-compile-schemasglib-compile-schemas — GSettings schema compiler |
glib-compile-schemas
[OPTION...] {DIRECTORY}
glib-compile-schemas compiles all the GSettings XML
schema files in DIRECTORY
into a binary file
with the name gschemas.compiled
that can be used
by GSettings. The XML schema
files must have the filename extension .gschema.xml
.
For a detailed description of the XML file format, see the
GSettings documentation.
At runtime, GSettings looks for schemas in the
glib-2.0/schemas
subdirectories of all directories
specified in the XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variable. The
usual location to install schema files is
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
.
In addition to schema files, glib-compile-schemas reads 'vendor override'
files, which are key files that can override default values for keys in
the schemas. The group names in the key files are the schema id, and the
values are written in serialized GVariant form.
Vendor override files must have the filename extension
.gschema.override
.
By convention, vendor override files begin with nn_
where nn
is a number from 00 to 99. Higher
numbered files have higher priority (eg: if the same override is made in
a file numbered 10 and then again in a file numbered 20, the override
from 20 will take precedence).

Do not enforce restrictions on key names. Note that this option is purely to facility the transition from GConf, and will be removed at some time in the future. |
